Actor Born: April 28, 1930 in Amarillo, TX Death: August 3, 1983 in West Hollywood, CA Biography:Trained at the Pasadena Playhouse, Texas-born "Carolyn Jones" supported herself as a radio disk jockey when acting jobs were scarce. She entered films as a bit player in 1952, attaining prominence for a role in which (for the most part) she neither moved nor spoke: the waxwork Joan of Arc -- actually one of mad sculptor "Vincent Price"'s many murder victims -- in 1953's "House of Wax". In 1957, Jones was Oscar-nominated for her five-minute role as a pathetic "good time girl" in "The Bachelor Party"; two years later, she stole the show in "Frank Capra"'s "A Hole in the Head" as "Frank Sinatra"'s bongo-playing girlfriend. During the early 1960s, Jones was married to producer "Aaron Spelling", who frequently cast her on such TV series as The Dick Powell Show and Burke's Law. In 1964, Jones achieved TV sitcom immortality as the ghoulishly sexy Morticia Addams on the popular series "The Addams Family".... Full Biography
